Robecq is situated about 7 miles northwest of Béthune and 31 miles southwest of Lille. The Canal d’Aire and the rivers Clarence and Busnes all flow through the commune.During World War I intense action took place close to Robecq. In his posthumously published memoir, Private A S Bullock recalls the fighting at Bacquerolles Farm, noting that the German attack was repelled 'chiefly by my Lewis gun!'. He also recalls a much lighter, indeed hilarious, incident when the British troops stationed near Robecq were ordered to have a bath.
